Hillary Clinton, Electoral College Elector

Journal by DeathMonkey

Good news everybody!

Hillary Clinton will be an Electoral College Elector for NY

Aren't you glad to know that your votes don't actually count and that Hillary Clinton is one of mere 538 people in the United States whose vote actually does count?

    Direct democracy in action.

    Defund the police? Ballot initiatives eventually forcing an article V convention.

    Single payer health care? Ballot initiatives. Article V convention. (Keep trying!)

    End the war on some drugs? Convention.

    And the forever war? Convention.

    Approval voting? Convention.

    Recall Ms. Women Are Property and Mr. Frat Boy Rapist? Convention.

    I like Representative Democracy I just think it needs to be, y'know... representative.

      Ah, direct democracy is too representative, unless we're talking about abolishing the electoral college. A very moderate stance. Again I'm reminded of one of the original SJWs:

      Tell a man whose house is on fire, to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen;—but urge me not to use moderation in a like cause like the present.
